In Atlanta on June 24, 2026, Gray Media revealed that five local television stations under its umbrella received recognition from the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences and Investigative Reporters and Editors (IRE). They secured a National Emmy victory, three National Emmy nods, one IRE Award, and one IRE finalist citation. This news comes after an extraordinary accomplishment where a total of 93 regional Edward R. Murrow Awards were granted by the Radio Television Digital News Association (RTDNA) to 41 of Gray's local TV stations. This surpasses other media companies, even those significantly larger than Gray Media.
